So Simple Zucchini Noodle Soup

This soup is so simple it almost doesn’t even need any explanation I just sauteed carrots and celery, and added steamed zucchini noodles, broth and Herbamare. It would also have been really good with some chicken for chicken “noodle” soup. To make the zucchini noodles I used this nifty julienne slicer that Elana got me into.

* If you frequent stores like Marshall’s you can find Le Creuset for half price or better. That’s how I got all three of my orange colored Le Crueset about three years ago. I’ve since seen others there in green, blue and yellow.

Soup looks and sounds perfect. I need one of those tools! Speaking of tools, what do you use to bake with? Muffin pans, cake pans etc…I looked on your blog but couldn’t find a link. Sorry if I missed it.

If you want your zucchini to look more like grain pasta (for visual effect) peel the zucchini before slicing julienne. This kind of “pasta” really works well with a sauce on top, too! (Try a hearty meat sauce.) Never thought of trying it in soup though! Thanks for the great idea!

Thanks so much for this recipe!I was just thinking about getting a spiral slicer to make raw zucchini noodles, but we have been advised to eat fewer raw veggies and more slightly steamed for health reasons. I felt discouraged….and though it should have occurred to met that noodles are meant to be cooked, this was exactly the tip that I needed in order to have a new recipe for my family! Thanks!

Mmmm this looks so good! Good old noodle soup, but far healthier! I’ve never tried soup with zucchini noodles but I’d love to give it a go. I’m actually coming down with a cold, so I may make this warming soup. Id also add potatoes, which I think could make a more satisfying comforting soup. Thanks for sharing this, perfect timing!

I posted a carrot ginger soup with rice noodles that looks very similar to your soup. What a great idea to use zuchhini noodles. will have to try it. I love your blog and the wonderful ideas. Thanks for sharing.
